Aquilegia chrysantha var. Alba

This perennial southwestern native is a natural for western gardens. Bright white flowers with long spurs from late spring into summer, float up to 36" above an 18" clump of dusty blue leaves. We love it when a plant is its own best background! Attractive to hummers and pretty much every other pollinator. Allow to seed to form long lived colonies. Drought tolerant with good drainage, occasional summer water keeps foliage looking fresh. Excellent naturalized with drought tolerant grasses. Sun to  afternoon shade. USDA zone 4 hardy.
